Nursing after breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery at present, which can enlarge breast and improve breast shape by implanting implants. Postoperative nursing is very important for postoperative recovery. The following will elaborate on the nursing methods after breast augmentation surgery from four aspects: wound care, pressure prevention, diet conditioning and exercise recovery.
Wound care
Postoperative wounds need regular care to ensure wound healing. Generally speaking, the doctor will change the dressing for the patient for the first time, and guide the patient to clean the wound and change the dressing at home. When nursing, first clean the wound with sterile physiological saline, then gently wipe the skin around the wound with gauze to keep the skin clean and dry. Patients should follow the doctor's instructions, change the dressing on time, and avoid water or dirt contacting the wound to avoid infection.
At the same time, the wound area after surgery also needs to be properly massaged to help reduce swelling and congestion, and promote wound healing. Massage gently and avoid overexertion. In case of wound infection, fever, redness and swelling and other abnormalities, seek medical advice in time.
Pressure prevention
After breast augmentation surgery, it is necessary to provide proper support and protection for the breast to avoid changes in breast position, implant displacement and other situations after surgery. Patients should choose appropriate bras and try to choose cup bra without steel ring to avoid excessive pressure on the breast. At the initial stage, medical elastic bra can be used to reduce the shaking and compression on the breast, which is helpful to the stability and healing of the wound.
In addition, patients should try to avoid sitting or standing for a long time after surgery, and avoid violent exercise or heavy physical labor to prevent the breast from being squeezed and hit by external forces. In daily life, patients should pay attention to maintaining good posture to avoid external force on the breast.
Diet conditioning
After breast augmentation surgery, reasonable diet should be paid attention to to promote wound healing and breast recovery. For a period of time after surgery, because the body is still in recovery period, patients should choose foods that are easy to digest and rich in nutrition, such as eggs, lean meat, fish, tofu, etc. At the same time, spicy food, irritant food, tobacco and alcohol should be avoided to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort and affect postoperative recovery.
In addition, patients should also pay attention to maintaining adequate water intake after surgery to promote body metabolism and waste discharge. At the same time, follow the doctor's instructions to avoid excessive drinking water or excessive salt intake to prevent edema and other adverse consequences.
Motion recovery
Proper exercise recovery after operation is helpful to promote blood circulation and breast recovery. However, patients need to exercise under the guidance of doctors to avoid problems such as wound dehiscence or implant displacement caused by excessive exercise. At the initial stage, some gentle physical activities can be carried out, such as walking, yoga, etc., to gradually increase the intensity of exercise, but high impact activities such as jumping and strenuous exercise should be avoided.
The patient should try to avoid sweating when exercising, because the salt in sweat will cause breast swelling, increase pressure and affect healing. During the postoperative recovery period, patients should also avoid exposing their breasts directly in the sun to avoid irritation to the wound.
Summary
Nursing after breast augmentation surgery includes wound nursing, stress prevention, diet conditioning and exercise recovery. Proper wound care can ensure wound healing, proper pressure prevention can protect breast from external force damage, reasonable diet can help wound healing and body recovery, and proper exercise recovery can promote blood circulation and breast recovery. Patients need to be nursed according to the doctor's instructions after surgery, reasonably arrange their life and diet, and follow the postoperative recovery regulations to ensure the surgical effect and postoperative recovery.
